It is a mistake on your part, not the browsers you use. You probably forgot to fill out the parent string in the iframe code you’ve copied to get an embed player. That’s why it says it is misconfigured.
The “parent query string” refers to the text after “parent=”
It should be the address of the site you are posting the embed player into (in this case “vcvrack.com” or “community.vcvrack.com” should work, I guess)
I seriously don’t understand, it seems as if I need a computer science degree from harvard just to copy paste a video link.
I now see the video image and it kinda work, but all old twitch post (not just my videos) are still dead.
I removed every iframe from the post, and now all it shows is the link like I use to do, and it works, but not the old one, and they have the same links as the new one (except different video #numbers)
without any iframe or any other types of code and it works
Now, if I have any kinda of logic left in this brain, something tells me that If I edit my very first post, maybe adding the “parent” thing, then maybe, just maybe it’ll correct all following posts ???
Oh, I didn’t know the forum handled creation of the iframes for you.
Sorry for being misleading then.
In this case it’s up to the forum to use to correct iframe parameters (which it seems it does then?) and you just need to paste a link.
The thing I’m confused about is what was wrong in the first place, how did you try to do it the first time? I doubt the forum got fixed since that, but that’s also possible.
maybe it’ll correct all following posts ???
Previous posts have no effect on future posts though.
I suppose it might be a recent change on twitch’s part to require this “parent string” and the older posts are saved with iframes that were generated using the old method (which produce broken embeds now).
So just pasting the link should work from now on but old posts need to be changed manually to have working players.
This is so weird, because all I did, was to select the link in the post, alt-x it and re-paste it, and it worked after saving.
I didn’t add or retract, nor did I changed anything.
anyway, thanks for your help and your time @unlessgames
But the bad thing is that, everyone that posted a Twitch video link ( VCV Rack Livestreamers - Twitch, YouTube, etc ) in their posts will have to do the editing work, unless something is done by the devs I guess?
My guess is that when you create a post, the forum looks for links to generate iframes from but after generating one, it saves it with the post as it is. So until a post gets edited the generation will not run again.
Fixing all past posts would require some custom scripting on the maintainer’s part.
Not sure what were they thinking at twitch when they made the change though, breaking every embed player on the internet. Imagine if youtube did this…
